Sports Backers Half Marathon Training Team
Team Overview
Training for a half marathon doesn’t have to be a solo journey. Join our 14-week program and get ready for the CarMax Richmond Half Marathon, part of the Allianz Richmond Marathon. You’ll have access to experienced coaches, weekend run support, and informative clinics that cover everything from the latest gear to injury prevention. Plus, you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow runners in Richmond, making this a great opportunity to meet new people while working towards your goal. By the end, you’ll not only be race-ready but have a few more friends to celebrate with!
Celebrating 17 Years of training!
They say strength lies in numbers—and we couldn’t agree more! Training for the CarMax Richmond Marathon may be challenging, but with a dedicated team of coaches and a community of fellow runners supporting you, you’ll have the motivation and encouragement to power through and cross that finish line.
There isn’t one thing I can think of to make this team any better. All of the coaches and SAG folks do an amazing job. I talked my sister in to doing the training this year and within the first couple of weeks she said, “Now I know why you love this so much!” Thanks for another great 14 weeks and race!

This was my second year on the team and I absolutely loved it. I shaved 6:40 off my time! I also had the motivation to get up and run distances I never thought I could because of the training team. It’s such a fabulous experience. I am so thankful that I found this group. It has helped me challenge myself in ways I never thought possible. Thank you for all you do to organize us and keep us motivated!
